Corporate Guilt: Imposing Criminal Penalties on Corporations
With the growing participation of corporations as business and economic tools, there is clearly a need to revisit and sharpen the legal fangs and framework to more effectively deter and clamp on corporate misconduct.
In a fast-changing world where trade and commercial transactions are increasingly conducted through corporations, stricter regulation of corporate conduct must be pursued. The increasing and evolving role of juridical entities in society has resulted to a bigger challenge of finding an effective mode to curb and punish corporate misconduct.
Corporate criminal responsibility was virtually unknown until the latter half of the 19th century and then, it was on the basis of vicarious liability. Today, the concept of corporate criminal liability has been formally adopted and embraced in many countries including the United States, France and Australia.
As it happened, Philippine penal laws have not yet fully adopted this concept. Up to now, both the 1932 vintage Revised Penal Code and other special penal laws have not incorporated penalties aimed at sanctioning corporations, except for a 2001 legislation, and another trailblazing law that was passed in 2012.
Civil law remedies largely remain to be the available mode, such as the imposition of damages and issuance of injunctive writs.
But are these civil remedies adequate to curb or dissuade scurrilous, wayward and illegal corporate conduct? Would corporate criminal liability be specious given the availability of civil redress?
In the Philippines, we have yet to see a corporation being criminally sanctioned. Hefty administrative fines are also rarely imposed, except for one being recently meted against a mining firm.
Absent any penal laws punishing corporations, these entities cannot be convicted as criminal offenders for disregarding and disrespecting the law — be it for flouting competition and anti-trust laws, violating taxation regulations, or ignoring environmental rules.
There is a dearth of studies on corporate criminal liability under Philippine laws. But the time may be ripe for the Philippines to now pursue laws that penalize corporations for criminal misconduct. The current effort to pass a new Philippine Code of Crimes may just be the perfect opportunity to do so.
At the end of this course, you should be able to:
Describe the Philippine model of corporate criminal punishment
Determine the basis of corporate criminal liability
Distinguish how other countries punish corporations for criminal acts
Determine whether the Philippines should make corporations liable for criminal misconduct
Identify the sanctions imposed on erring corporations in the Philippines

It's Not How You Start, But How You Finish
So…are we all set for a Colts/Bengals AFC Championship game? The winner would then meet the NFC Champion Redskins or Buccaneers, because after four weeks, those were the only four undefeated teams in pro football. Certainly the hot start of the Colts was not a surprise, as they've made three trips to the playoffs, but the Redskins, Bucs and Bengals have surprised.
However, let's not forget that one year ago, there were only four 3-0 teams to start the season, with the Seahawks and Jaguars in that mix. Neither made the playoffs. Back in August the Redskins were 35-to-1 to win the Super Bowl, while the Bengals were 40-to-1. So, anyone with future's tickets had better take a deep breath and be patient before thinking about cashing those long shots. If your favorite team is off to a disappointing start, relax, and if your team is off to a hot start, don't start making preparations for the Super Bowl, or even playoffs just yet.
A lot was made of the Carolina Panthers remarkable journey two years ago. The Panthers were 4-0 in preseason, then got off to a 3-0 start and seemingly used that momentum all the way to the Super Bowl. Sure, hot starts can help a team, but remember that in 2002 those same Panthers started 3-0 and finished up 7-9.
Naturally, a team doesn't want to start 0-3 like this year's Packers and Texans. You may recall that last season the Rams started 1-2, then made the postseason, and even won a playoff game. In 2001, the Patriots started 0-2 and 1-3, yet wound up winning the Super Bowl. A poor start makes it tougher to get back into an NFL season that is only 16 games long where few teams even qualify for the postseason. On the other hand, a hot start is not mandatory, either. In 2003, the Eagles looked terrible during an 0-2 SU/ATS start just before their bye week. That team then went 11-3 against the spread the rest of the regular season, winning 13 of their next 15 games on the way to the NFC Championship game. The Patriots started 2-2 in 2003, then proceeded to go 15-0 SU, 12-3 ATS on the way to winning another Super Bowl.
Last year, the Patriots and Steelers had incredible seasons, combining two lose only four games, two against each other! They wound up in the AFC Title game, while the eventual NFC Champion Eagles got off to a terrific 5-0 SU/ATS start. However, the red-hot start doesn't always predict a hot finish. If you think a good start is essential, let's not forget the 2003 Minnesota Vikings. The boys in purple started 6-0 SU/ATS, only to fold in apocalyptic fashion, missing the playoffs during a 3-7 SU, 2-8 ATS finish. Miami also started 4-1 SU/ATS in 2003, only to go 3-8 against the spread and miss the playoffs again.
There's an old saying in racing, "It's not the fastest horse out of the gate, but who crosses the finish line first." It's a marathon and all kinds of things can crop up to derail a potential playoff run: Poor defense, injuries, bad luck, even scheduling. In 2003, the Dolphins had to play five of seven games against eventual playoff teams. They lost four of them. The Chiefs were the hottest team in the NFL the first half of the 2003 season, starting 9-0 SU and 8-1 against the number. There even was a future's bet offered on whether the Chiefs would run the regular season table and go undefeated. That wager didn't last long, however, as Kansas City finished 4-4 straight up and 2-6 against the spread after that 9-0 start. Poor defense was the culprit.
Balance and depth are to important elements of playoff teams. An ideal team is well rounded, with a quality passing and running game, consistent special teams, low turnovers and a defense that can stop or contain the run. Coaches study game films to find fatal flaws in the opposition, weaknesses that can be exploited on game day.
The 2003 Giants started 2-1 straight up and against the spread. That was all that was worth recalling in a forgettable season. The Giants limped to a 2-11 SU finish while going 1-11-1 against the number. Last year, Seattle started 3-0 SU/ATS with a defense that allowed 13 total points! No one remembers that start, however, as the Seahawks went 6-8 SU, 2-12 ATS the rest of the season. In 2001, the Patriots weathered a 1-3 SU/ATS start filled with a serious injury to All-Pro QB Drew Bledsoe and the suspension of WR Terry Glenn. New players stepped in and the team slowly began to grasp the intricate defensive systems Bill Belichick and coordinator Romeo Crennel were teaching. The Patriots ended the season 9-0 SU/7-1-1 ATS and upset the Rams in the Super Bowl as a +14 dog. It's not the fastest horse out of the gate, but the one who crosses the finish line.

Q: Implementing own auth/identity service So I've been reading up a lot about authorisation and authentication.. and now I'm confused as i'm not sure what would be the best and appropriate tools to use.
Let me give you a little bit of a background.
I'm trying to create a multi-tenant application which would consist of 3 services, these are:

*

*Tenant service (defines the tenants which exist and defines their scopes i.e what apis they're allowed to use)

*Identity service (issues out tokens for users defining the roles of users and the tenant the user belongs to)

*Application service (bundle of apis to perform specific business logic)

The problems i'm experiencing with creating an identity service are:

*

*Some api's have restricted access for different tenants. Which means a user belonging to a tenant which only has permissions to make calls to the Product api shouldn't be allowed to make calls to other api's

*Some api's should have restricted access for different user roles. Meaning a user with the role admin can make any api request (providing that the tenant they belong to also has access to that api) whilst a user with a different role may have limited api access.

I've thought about using Identity Server 4 but I don't like the idea of not being able to customize your own routes for endpoints. Atleast, creating my own service would allow me such customization should I require to change logic in the future.
So far, I've created the ability to request an access token with the below code:
    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Token([FromHeader(Name = "client_id")] string tenantId, [FromBody] LoginRequest request)
    {
        var applicationUser = await _userManager.GetUserAsync(tenantId, request.email);
        var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(applicationUser, request.password, true, false);

        var claimsIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(new Claim[]
        {
            new Claim("userId", applicationUser.Id),
            new Claim("tenantId", tenantId),
            new Claim("email", request.email)
        });

        // Add claims of the user from the data soruce
        claimsIdentity.AddClaims(await _userManager.GetClaimsAsync(applicationUser));

        var key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("3ce1637ed40041cd94d4853d3e766c4d");

        var token = new JwtSecurityToken(
            claims: claimsIdentity.Claims,
            expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1),
            signingCredentials: new SigningCredentials(new SymmetricSecurityKey(key), SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256Signature)
        );

        var jwtToken = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(token);
        return Ok(new LoginResponse { AccessToken = new AccessToken { Token = token, ExpiresIn = 200 }});
    }

Again, because I'm new to authorisation and authentication I'm not sure whether my request token call should demand a grant_type?
I'm not sure whether the tenantId provided from the request header should be a client_secret
And, I'm not sure what sort of information should be encrypted into a refresh_token before being given to the user and stored against the user.
Honestly, any advice would be helpful right now as I've been stuck for days. If you have any suggestions on what should be done or what tools to use then please let me know

A: as you are saying it's a multi tenant application with different roles, I think the best choice will be the identity server 4.
you can customize it as per your needs and there is lot of help available online to setup
writing your own authentication is a bad idea

*

*takes lot of time

*might not be secured

*yout may not find support if you face issues

Satan's final deception will come just prior to the close of probation when he will make it appear that he is Yahushua, come the second time.
For nearly 500 years, the devil, in conjunction with the Jesuits, has worked hard to perpetuate a lie: a globe earth, rotating around the sun in a huge solar system, spinning through an immense galaxy, traveling through an enormous, ever expanding universe. There has been one reason and one reason only for this colossal deception: to establish a belief in a universe, unimaginably vast, that contains extraterrestrials. This belief is essential to Satan's complex, multi-layered, end-time strategy.
Demons, pretending to be aliens, will invade the world under the First Woe. This prepares the way for the last Pope to broker a peace treaty with the "extraterrestrials." Having successfully halted the alien (demon) attacks, the Pope will be promoted to be the head of the new, one world religion. In this role, he will be in a position to assist Satan in his final deception. A deception that will culminate in the devil pretending to be Yahushua, returned as He promised the second time.
If you have not already done so, you are encouraged to first read "The Jesuits & The Globe Earth: The Mother Of All Conspiracies." The sequence of events outlined there is crucial to understanding Satan's masterpiece of deception. It lays the groundwork for the information in this article.
In the past, Satan has diverted worship from the Creator to false gods. In the final remnant of time, he is to go one giant step further. He will make it appear that he is the Saviour Himself, returned, just as He promised. But more, even than this: he will be the culmination of every religion's expected end-of-time Saviour/Messiah/Promised One.
Beliefs differ among the various denominations as to the order of events that will occur before the end of the world. However, all Christians are united in looking for a return of Yahushua. The long-awaited Second Coming is the hope of every Christian alive.
Hindus believe that the present time period is the last of four ages. It is the most violent, impious and morally depraved of them all. At the end, they anticipate the final reincarnation of Vishnu. He will appear as Kalki on a white horse and gather the few pious souls that remain. Together with the other incarnations of the Godhead, or Avatars, he will destroy sin and vanquish every demon.
These five religions comprise about 80% of the earth's population. Satan is well prepared to meet their expectations. He is behind every single organized religion on earth. He has influenced human minds for millennia, leading them on to false expectations of the end of the world. He has formed and crafted the various theologies and doctrines that have shaped every incorrect view of truth, the Creator and the end of the world.
Furthermore, he is the world's greatest Bible scholar. He knows the truth very well. Ever since he entwined truth with error in the Garden of Eden to beguile Adam and Eve, he has manipulated minds to further his own cause. He will appear as the Mahdi to the Muslims; the Messiah to the Jews; Yahushua to the Christians; Maitreya to the Buddhists and Kalki to the Hindus.
The Trumpets, as covered in other articles, constitute Heaven's last warning of mercy to the citizens of earth. The Vatican is already in position to take advantage of world conditions under the first woe. When the bottomless pit is opened and the earth is overrun with demons posing as aliens, the pope will be called upon to negotiate a peace treaty with the "extraterrestrial" invaders. His success will make him the ideal head of the new One World religion.
As deceptive as this sequence of events is, it but lays the foundation for what is to follow: the impersonation of the Saviour by His archenemy, Satan. During the approximate three-and-a-half year time period between the first and second woes, the world will be thrown into unprecedented chaos. When the turmoil, confusion and pandemonium of the trumpets sweeps the world, the masses will turn to their religious leaders to interpret and make sense of the catastrophic events unfolding around them. This is all part of Satan's long-time plan for his ultimate deception.
The horrific events under the first woe are premeditated. They have been intentionally devised by Satan to create a situation in which his impersonation of Yahushua will be not only accepted but also whole-heartedly believed as true and genuine.
A person does not go from living their hum-drum, daily existence, to immediately bowing down and worshipping Satan as Christ/Messiah/Mahdi/Maitreya/Kalki. There are intermediate steps that must be taken. Satan's control of all organized religious has been to take charge of this process and lead the minds of multitudes to the conclusions he wants them to make. It is a grand pyramid scheme and he sits at the top.
Individuals go to their local religious leaders for instruction in what to believe. These leaders, in turn, consult with their superiors who, in turn, follow the guidance of those over them. Having successfully brokered a peace treaty with the demons (disguised as aliens) under the first woe, the Pope will have immense influence across all religious boundaries. He will be the head of a unified world religion. As such, he will be directly under Satan himself. Thus, when Satan appears as Christ, the pope will accept him and lead the way in bowing down and worshipping him as the Saviour, returned the second time.
This will have a trickle down effect, with the leaders of the world's other religious bodies following his example. The orthodox churches (who are virtually Roman Catholic in all but name) will be told by their patriarch that this is indeed Christ. Jews will rejoice to receive, at long last, their Messiah. Muslims will give thanks to Allah for sending their Promised One. Buddhists will accept him as the Maitreya and Hindus as the prophesied Kalki. Christians of every denomination will be assured by their leaders that the beautiful being they see, closely matching the description of Yahushua given in Revelation, is the long-awaited Saviour of the world.
The masses will seek the opinions of their highest religious leaders who will all agree that this glorious being is their long-expected Saviour, Teacher, Messiah, Promised One. He is Christ, they will insist. Only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures and who have received the love of the truth will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive.
The masses will seek the opinions of their highest religious leaders who will all agree that this glorious being is their long-expected Saviour, Teacher, Messiah, Promised One. He is Christ, they will insist. Any individualized beliefs of the various denominations or religions that contradict the way this will all play out, will be dismissed as a simple misunderstanding of Scripture or their holy writings. After all, who can deny the evidence of their senses that this is, indeed, the long-awaited Promised One?
And yet, that is precisely what the people of Yah must be prepared to do.
Go Out Of Her, My People!
It is the religious hierarchy of Babylon (all organized religions) that prepares the whole world to worship Satan. The pyramid scheme, with Satan at its top, the world's religious leaders under him, regional leaders and prominent teachers under them, followed by local leaders and influential friends and family, brings tremendous pressure to bear upon the individual. The pressure to conform, to not make waves, to accept without question what is taught, is very great. And the more conservative the religious beliefs, the greater the compelling force to comply, to accept without question what the leaders teach is truth.
Satan will not show up in a red cape with horns. He will come as everything that the masses have wished for.
It is for this reason the clarion call goes forth: "Go out of her, My people!" (Revelation 18:4, Geneva Bible, 1599 edition) The honest-minded, the sincere of heart, are to flee Babylon in all its varied forms. It is a very solitary walk, but it also frees one from the peer pressure to conform that surrounds those who align themselves with organized bodies.
About three and a half years after the end of the first woe, the second woe falls upon the earth. The Bible foretells the death of fully one-third of humanity during this dreadful time period. Yahuwah, in His love and mercy, would not allow Satan to destroy so many lives before all have had a chance to hear the invitation to salvation. As Heaven's truths increase, so also increases Satan's desperate attempts to deceive. Thus, Satan's masterpiece of deception, the impersonation of Yahushua, will come at the time Heaven's truths are resounding from one end of earth to the other. Again, this comes before the destruction of the second woe.
As the world's masses follow the example of their religious leaders, accept the impersonation as real, and bow before Satan, great will be the indignation exercised against all who refuse to conform. The small remnant who stand boldly for the truth, denouncing the counterfeit for the fraud that it is, will face persecution.
When the entreaties of friends and loved ones fall on deaf ears, when flattery and other inducements are powerless to compel the conscience, then increasing forms of force will be used to try to compel the righteous to accept Satan as Yahushua.
It is impossible to envision the sheer hatred that will be felt against all who steadfastly refuse to bow to this satanic counterfeit. The desire to force compliance will be driven by a fear that, if all are not united in accepting the long-awaited Saviour/Messiah/Promised One, there will be nothing to protect the world against a reprisal of the suffering that was endured under the "alien" invasion of the first woe. This fear will appear to be justified when humanity suffers the incomprehensible losses predicted under the second woe. Many will be martyred for refusing to go along with the mass hysteria accepting Satan as Yahushua.
Lending authority and believability to the fraud will be the appearance of other demons, impersonating prominent religious leaders of the past. These will include the 12 apostles, various prophets and patriarchs. It is also probable that influential people who founded the various religions and denominations will also be impersonated by demons. If Mohammed were to appear at this time, how many Muslims would refuse to accept Satan as the Mahdi? Would any Mormons reject this Jesus if Joseph Smith appeared and urged them to accept him? Would Seventh-day Adventists stand firm if Ellen White appeared and stated that this is indeed the precious Saviour she had seen so many times in vision? If she said that her writings had been changed after her death, and that this being, glowing with supernatural brilliance, is Yahushua, who would cling to the word of Yah alone and deny the very evidence of their senses?
Once the third woe starts, probation will have closed. All who are holy and righteous will remain so, while all who have persisted in rebellion against Heaven will be filled with a Satanic zeal and hatred that is unprecedented in earth's history. The suffering of the wicked under the seven last plagues will only increase their murderous hatred of the small remnant who stand in opposition to them.
Hatred against the faithful few will continue to mount and it will be finally declared that they should be put to death for their continued "blasphemy" against Yahuwah and His Son whom He has sent a second time. Satan, too, will be filled with murderous intent. If he could but wipe from the face of the earth the small remnant who denounce him for the fake that he is, his triumph would be complete. He will inspire the leading men and women to enact a law declaring that all who refuse to bow and worship him should be put to death.
But Yahuwah will save His own. All who put their faith and trust in the word of Yahuwah will, when the Saviour finally appears, greet Him with joy. They have stood strong in the face of death itself. They have loved and are loved with a fervency only the divine heart can feel. They shall live in peace and boundless joy for all eternity with Him whom they have loved.
He will swallow up death in victory; and Master Yahuwah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth: for Yahuwah hath spoken it.

Research Roundup: Warning to address drug-resistant TB, a new Ebola vaccine strategy in DRC, and FDA takes step to bolster research on pregnant and lactating women
PATH/Georgina Goodwin
Interested in more global health innovation news? Every week GHTC scours media reports worldwide to deliver essential global health R&D news and content to your inbox. Sign-up now to receive our weekly R&D News Roundup email.
A report released by the Economist Intelligence Unit warns that the fight against drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) lags behind that of other diseases in terms of money and public attention. Deaths from DR-TB will cost the world economy nearly US$20 billion annually; however, international funding for TB is approximately one-eighth that of HIV/AIDS and about half that of malaria. The report calls for TB to be treated as a public health emergency and states that $9 billion is needed by 2020 to develop new drugs, diagnostics, and vaccines to address this disease—the world's number one infectious disease killer. DR-TB can develop when patients fail to adhere to the notoriously grueling treatment regimen, which includes thousands of pills and painful injections, or because of poor-quality drugs. Last year, the United Nations held the first-ever High-Level Meeting on TB, determining that ending TB is a global priority after progress against the disease has stalled in recent years.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced plans last Tuesday to change its vaccination strategy in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in an attempt to better confront the country's current Ebola outbreak, which has lasted nine months and claimed more than 1,000 lives. As part of the new vaccination strategy, WHO intends to launch "pop-up" vaccination campaigns in safe communities and shift to immunizing as many people in each target area as possible instead of relying solely on its current tactic of ring vaccinating health workers and the immediate contacts of each known case. To extend vaccine supplies, WHO also recommended offering smaller doses of the vaccine—developed by Merck—to those at high risk and low risk respectively, and eventually introducing a second vaccine made by Johnson and Johnson. A consortium, including the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is planning how to safely roll out the new vaccine.
On Wednesday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released two new draft documents which provide guidance about how to study drug safety and efficacy in pregnant and lactating women. The draft documents provide insight to drug makers into the FDA's thinking on when they should study a medicine in lactating women and how they can better monitor health outcomes in pregnant women who are taking medications that have already been FDA-approved. These documents follow 2018 recommendations made by a federal task force formed by Congress to study the lack of research involving pregnant and lactating women. Historically, the drug industry has excluded pregnant women from research out of concern that an experimental medication might harm a fetus. There is a similarly small amount of research on medications safety in lactating women. Once finalized, the documents will help companies collect more high-quality safety information about drugs used in pregnant and lactating women.

Sanctum 2 brings more FPS to tower defense
Sanctum 2 is the next installment of the most challenging tower defense/FPS hybrid game I have ever played.
Sanctum 2 is a sequel to a incredibly well-known first person tower defense game known as Sanctum. Both games have been developed and published by a popular company named Coffee Stain Studios. You represent the last defenders that can save the planet from hordes of deadly aliens. You can attempt this as single player or in co-op multiplayer.
This is a first person shooter game where the player also has the power to make a maze filled with defense towers that help him protect the oxygen-producing Cores from an increasing number of aliens that are out to destroy them. There are a variety of distinctive weapons, towers and enemies in Sanctum 2, each one of them having distinct strengths and weaknesses. Also each character has his / her own specific primary weapon. One has shotgun, one has sniper rifle, one has rocket launcher, one assault rifle and the newest character has a special crossbow. Now each weapon has its own style of play. The shotgun character is good towards larger enemies that come running at him. Rocket launcher is sweet versus swarms of enemies since his damage applies to an area. Sniper and Crossbow characters are most effective versus game bosses, since they deal largest amount of damage in a single hit. And assault rifle is okay versus just about anything.
Each character can also have a secondary weapon. There are many different secondary weapons so the player can match precisely what they need to complement their primary weapon. There are additionally diverse perks in this game which help out with bonuses to your character. You might choose a perk that turns slow but strong weapons into very fast, even more potent weapons. Or maybe a perk that slows down every alien you shoot. There are dozens to choose from and that makes for a varied game play experience. Of course, don't forget there are a lot of towers that assist you in fighting off the alien horde. Gun towers, laser towers, drone towers, etc. and each can be upgraded between invasion waves depending on your resources. Each tower is usually good for one specific thing, and it is up to player to discover what's the optimum method to make the towers fit in with their play style and what's most effective versus what enemies. Of the various kinds of enemies that are trying to take over the planet, some are small, numerous and quick, while others are powerful, slow and difficult to kill. Find the right mix of weapons, towers and perks to take them out before the core is destroyed!
Sanctum 2 vs Sanctum 1 main differences:
Emphasis is now placed more on the players to damage the aliens instead of with dozens of towers. In fact, the number of towers allowed is capped at 15, no matter the number of players on your team. Also, aliens will now target you specifically if you're too close – totally different from the first game when they generally ignored you. However this also allows you to interrupt their progress and slow them down if you're quick and agile.
Feats of Strength! These are basically five options that make the game harder. The enemies attack faster, regenerate health, have more hit points, etc. Defeating a map with all five selected is definitely an achievement.
There is now a leveling system that unlocks more weapons, towers and perks to the player as he progresses. These additional options allow the player to replay earlier maps with different strategies and feats of strength.
Perks! Choose up to 3 to modify your character or the game.
They took away the teleporters That was among the neat things from first game, letting you warp from one part of your maze to the other to deal with any breakthroughs. No longer. This will affect your game play and your tower defense.
Death: Yes, one can die now, and guess what? If you die, you have to WAIT for a respawn, even if you fall off the map by accident. If you're using a certain Feat of Strength you'll have to WAIT until the end of the wave. Ouch. Don't die.
While many of the enemies are carried over from the first game and look just about the same, there are some new alien types thrown in, especially in the DLC content. This gives an additional challenge to Sanctum veterans.
Can't improve weapons directly: This has been removed as well. You choose a gun, that gun stays the same, no upgrading it stronger or quicker, or faster reload… However you can choose perks instead that basically do the same thing and more.
Sanctum 2 is an indie game that really shines. If you like shooters and/or tower defense games, this brings both together in a very challenging way. The artwork is fantastic and the music is amazing. I highly recommend you support this independent studio.

Dino D-Day a new take on World War II
Dino D-Day is a multi-player PvP shooter that combines the ever-popular World War II theme with bloodthirsty dinosaurs like from Jurassic Park.
In this alternate history line, Adolf Hitler has succeeded in resurrecting and training dinosaurs to join his Nazi armies in a bid for conquest. The Allies desperately try to catch up with their own dinosaur research as they battle across Europe and the Mediterranean. Each side has seven playable characters each with unique weapons and abilities, even – yes you guessed it – dinosaurs equipped with machine guns. It's a unique spin from indie developer 800 North that attempts to combine two popular genres, with mixed results.
Dino D-Day plays out like most multiplayer FPS games. The two sides spawn on a map and battle it out for victory. Not much new there. The maps are nice, but the game's strengths are in it's classes. You may prefer playing one of the soldiers equipped with specific World War II armaments, or try your hand as a genetically modified dinosaur with their special attacks. It's kinda cool charging down others as an armored Desmatosuchus or pouncing on prey as a Velociraptor. It's different, but takes some getting used to and there are some possible balancing issues to be sure.
Unfortunately there is no tutorial to speak of, so before jumping in a live game you probably should create your own game with bots to practice on. There are just some class specific key strokes you'll have to figure out, but luckily there is a plethora of goats around each map to practice on. Soon you'll be spitting acid in everybody's faces. Well, maybe. I stumbled around for quite awhile, learning by trial and error. I was lucky enough to run into a friendly player named Buddy the Space Parrot who showed me a few great tips.
The game itself is okay, but depends entirely on a multiplayer community, which is fairly sparse. It's going to be hard to compete with free to play games like Team Fortress 2 with a much larger base. Hardcore pvp gamers will find a rather small amount of regular players to tussle with. There is no single player campaign, though you could use bots if you wish. In either case, unless you are a major dino fan, the play value of Dino D-Day is not so great.

Regulation of T cell expansion by antigen presentation dynamics
Andreas Mayer, Yaojun Zhang, Alan S. Perelson, Ned S. Wingreen
Princeton Center for Theoretical Science
An essential feature of the adaptive immune system is the proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes during an immune reaction to form a large pool of effector cells. This proliferation must be regulated to ensure an effective response to infection while avoiding immunopathology. Recent experiments in mice have demonstrated that the expansion of a specific clone of T cells in response to cognate antigen obeys a striking inverse power law with respect to the initial number of T cells. Here, we show that such a relationship arises naturally from a model in which T cell expansion is limited by decaying levels of presented antigen. The same model also accounts for the observed dependence of T cell expansion on affinity for antigen and on the kinetics of antigen administration. Extending the model to address expansion of multiple T cell clones competing for antigen, we find that higher-affinity clones can suppress the proliferation of lower-affinity clones, thereby promoting the specificity of the response. Using the model to derive optimal vaccination protocols, we find that exponentially increasing antigen doses can achieve a nearly optimized response. We thus conclude that the dynamics of presented antigen is a key regulator of both the size and specificity of the adaptive immune response.

Session of royal positions dream TV arrangement
Session of royal positions (otherwise called round of honored positions or Game of Thrones) is a TV show dream arrangement made by American-Jewish makers D. In. Weiss and David Benioff for HBO.
The arrangement depends on the popular book "Melody of flame and ice" – dream books.
Creator George R. R. Martin happens in an anecdotal world that takes after the medieval times.,
The essences of the on-screen characters were recorded at the Studio "Titanic" in Belfast, which is situated in Northern Ireland.,
Taping outside was additionally set in Malta, Scotland, Croatia, Iceland, Morocco, Spain, the United States and Canada.
Session Of Thrones.
A little about the session of positions of royalty arrangement.
The other line manages the last beneficiary of the previous Royal administration of Westeros to come back to the Kingdom and recover the Kingdom.
Because of the mind boggling fundamental characters, whose thought processes are obscure, arrangement
Testing the type of societal position, war, religion, sin and discipline and sexuality.
Round of honored positions, it has an expansive spending plan and a substantial commitment to the prominence of the dream classification.
Up to this point, there were five books of flame and ice ("round of royal positions", "strife of rulers", "sword rainstorms", "devour of crows" and " hit the dance floor with the lord"
Furthermore, there are two as of late distributed books.
Round Of Thrones.
The story happens on two landmasses, Westeros and Essos, in an anecdotal world, both summer and winter
It goes on for a long time until the point when they change. The story starts toward the finish of a long summer.,
Furthermore, it is isolated into a few unique lines . The first pursues the war between the greatest houses.
Of the Seven Kingdoms and the capital of Westeros battling for the honored position after the lord's passing.
I have confidence in the coming winter danger and in the child of beasts, who told the youngsters who were youthful from the far cool North.
What does this show say?
The arrangement pursues a progression of honorable families who guarantee the position of authority and power over every one of the Seven kingdoms.
Developments Of Westeros. The plot is committed to their political and rough skirmishes of these families.,
On the position of authority. In the start of the arrangement, there are two plot,
One that happens in a region called solidified North and manages the risk of moving toward winter and comprehension"
Amazing beasts called White Walkers. Storyline
Another set in the East for Westeros is called Assos and manages involvement

Variable Mu® Mono — Manley Laboratories, Inc.
These Mono versions of our Stereo MANLEY VARIABLE MU® LIMITER COMPRESSOR were one channel versions of our later stereo unit, and the predecessor to it.
The Stereo Variable Mu® was our best selling product for many years. It is one of the very few compressors that has become a real standard in Mastering studios and contributed to most hit records over the last decade and probably the next. "Mu" is tube-speak for gain, and Variable Mu is our registered trademark for this limiter compressor.
The earliest mono units were built at the VTL factory between 1991 and 1993. The very first prototype version of our limiter was this one sold to BOP Studios in Mmabatho, Bophuthatswana. It was called "PEAK-LIMITING LINE AMPLIFIER" and was built in our standard early 90's steel 1U chassis with the stainless-steel top. You can see the 0A2 gas regulator and the 12AL5 dual rectifer. This unit used the 6386, 12AX7 gain tube and 12BH7 output tube. The flatpack transformer supplied one of the B+ rails while the toroid supplied heaters and the other B rail. There was a switch on the back of this unit to change the output transformer secondaries from series to parallel hookup for different source impedances of 50 vs 200 Ohms. The 4-pin Switchcraft XLR used 2 pins for provision to hook a remote PPM 1mA meter to and two pins for linking to another channel.
The production units followed shortly thereafter with a new side-chain circuit engineered by house-tech Richard Schroeder. The first production LIMITER COMPRESSOR AMPLIFIER's were housed in a 1 1/2U billet chassis and featured a more complex vacuum tube regulated B+ rail. Sowter made the input and output transformers for these units. The output control was sometimes a big ol' Langevin 600 Ohm attenuator. If you see a big gold cylindrical thing there, then that's what you have. There were no ATTACK controls, however, a mod was later available to add a 3-position switch for this function. BYPASS on these earliest units were not hardwire type bypass controls. A bit odd. RECOVERY control was a 3-position switch; we used to joke "slow", "slower", and "slowest"... The large Sifam meters were not illuminated. We hadn't gotten to that yet back then. Tube complement on these was 12AL5 (I think... might be 6AL5... just replace 'em with whatever is already in there) for the rectifiers, 6386 (of which there are no more) for the gain control, 12AX7WA (usually the Yugoslav Ei ones) and then the 12BH7 for the output tube.
After we moved over to the Manley Labs factory in 1993, we built a handful more of the 1 1/2U units before the STEREO unit came out. After the Stereo unit was out, then the mono unit got a rework. The 1U units in our extruded side chassis with the removable perforated metal tops and bottoms became a real mono version of the then-new stereo one with the ATTACK pot and 5 position RECOVERY (RELEASE) switch. Because the Stereo Variable Mu® was selling so well compared to the mono version, after two years we killed off the mono version and put him in the mausoleum.
1 1/2U version mono Variable Mu® Limiters(with three position Attack time mod) shown above in Ed Tuton's rack.
Variable ATTACK less than 0.5 msec.

Buy a Refurbished iPad At Mac of All Trades
Since debuting in 2010, the iPad has quickly made a name for itself as one of the best tablets around. Perfect for travel by train, car, or plane, the iPad is an incredibly portable device that has become an essential part of our society. An iPad provides the ability to watch movies, play games, surf the web, and so much more. iPads are lightweight, and easy to fit in a bag or backpack. We see them everywhere, from business settings to living rooms across the land. Tablets are used in coffee shops, in design studios, in corporate offices. And, depending on your needs, you can purchase a WiFi-only model, for sedentary use, or a cellular model, perfect for on the go interactions.
Roughly speaking, there are four types of iPads: the iPad, the iPad mini, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. At Mac of All Trades, we have refurbished iPads of each kind. The iPad is to Apple's tablet line what the Macbook is to their laptops: the standard, iconic. Equipped with retina display technology (a means of using high pixel density to affect a crisp, printlike image), the iPad is a machine perfectly suited to high-quality user interaction. It uses a superpowered system-on-a-chip (basically all the components of a computer replicated on a single computer chip) to turbocharged its processing. The iPad features two speakers, as well as a built-in camera. It is available with WiFi only or WiFi and cellular capabilities. The iPad comes with several pre-installed applications—all the usual suspects—including Siri, Safari, Photo Booth, and all the other feathers in Apple's proverbial cap. Like all devices running Apple's operating system (iOS), the iPad can sync its data with other Apple products. Though the iPad isn't designed for use as a cellular phone, owners can use a headset or the built-in speaker to place phone calls over a cellular network. Using a voice recognition software, the iPad can take dictation, though this capability is WiFi-enabled. There are currently seven generations of iPad in existence, each with its own particular specifications and relative strengths. Definitely do some research before choosing which iPad is right for you.
The iPad mini was punted into existence way back in 2012. With a display size of 7.9 inches (as opposed to the standard 9.7), the mini was designed to be the smallest and most portable of the iPad line. Offering all the same benefits as the iPad proper, the mini was an amazing machine for those of us in the consumer base who value every inch of space we have. The tablet is manufactured both with and without the ability to connect to a cellular network, and is available in sub-models that offer either sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four, or 128 gigabytes of internal flash memory. The mini has benefited from five generations of development by Apple, which has seen its processing power increase tremendously, as well as the addition of a number of other improvements, including the addition of a retina display, and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
iPad Air entered the world in 2013. As is the trademark with Apple Air products, it features a thinner body than the traditional iPad, while retaining the same specifications otherwise. Similarly to the mini, the Air comes with all the same bells and whistles as the iPad. You can make phone calls on it. It can take dictation. And you can use it to sync data with your other devices. Apple also provided iPhoto, iMovie, and Garageband gratis with the device. The device is designed from a single, solid block of aluminum, which makes it 100% recyclable. By using thinner components, the Air weighs on average twenty-two percent less than the iPad standard. It introduced a new front-facing camera capable of face detection and backside illumination, a method of capturing more light in the photograph.
The iPad Pro was first released in 2015. Larger than the iPad standard, it comes in three screen sizes, eleven inches, 12.9 inches, and 9.7 inches, with four options for internal storage capacity: sixty-four gigabytes, 256 gigabytes, 512 gigabytes, or one terabyte. Compared to the standard, the Pro features a faster CPU, a better camera, which incorporates True Tone Flash and Retina Flash technologies.

A question I have recently been taught to ask myself is, "Where have I seen or experienced the grace of God throughout this day?" It is an amazing question, because if you look carefully, you find God revealed in all sorts of situations, people and events.
Today was "Parent Teacher Interview day". This is usually a time when hard questions and answers are given and taken. But even here, as parents and teachers strive for the best of a student, we see Christ appear in the words, the aspirations and the solutions.
Christ is seen in the hopes and fears of parents, in the desires of students and in the teacher's desire to point to a destiny and purpose. For me the question is a reminder to keep my eyes and heart open for the many "Christ" moments in the day.

Petrol scarcity: IPMAN wants FG to demolish 2,000 illegal stations
January 14, 2018 Business , Slider Edit
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has advocated immediate demolition of over 2,000 identified illegal filling stations operating across the country to check the persistent scarcity of petroleum products.
The Chairman of Board of Trustees of IPMAN, Alhaji Aminu Abdulkadir, made the suggestion when he fielded questions from State House correspondents in Abuja yesterday.
Abdulkadir, who was one of the participants at the recent meeting of critical stakeholders in the nation's oil sector, said the demolition of the retail outlets had become necessary to ensure availability of the products.
The meeting, which was presided over by the Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, was convened by the presidency to find lasting solutions to problems of petroleum scarcity and diversion of the commodity in the country.
He said the exercise, if carried out by the Federal Government, would also serve as deterrent to those who might want to frustrate government's efforts towards ensuring stability and sanity in the oil sector.
"But what is true is that there are people who are not licensed marketers, who have access to these products and they are doing what they like best because they want to profiteer from it, thereby constituting these problems for government, marketers and Nigerians at large," he said. (NAN)

Air Canada Stock Is Likely to Fly Higher From Here
Air Canada stock (TSX:AC) looks like a great Canadian stock to buy on its latest dip, but is it too early to punch your ticket to the name?

3 TSX Stocks That Can Stand Up to a Recession - January 26, 2023
Published September 2, 2021 10:33 am EDT
| More on: AC
Air Canada (TSX:AC) stock has proved to be a turbulent ride for traders and investors over the past year. With the latest Delta variant of COVID-19 continuing to weigh on the reopening plays, investors are growing fearful of the possibility of harsher restrictions on air travel. Once Delta peaks, though, I'm willing to bet that Air Canada stock will be back to soaring again despite the now, even if we have to live with COVID-19 for a while longer.
In prior pieces, I urged investors to consider the domestic U.S. airlines over Air Canada, given its greater reliance on international flights. Undoubtedly, Canada has a higher vaccination rate than most other G7 nations. But until other countries can catch up, Air Canada may not be able to see those early-2020 highs again. In terms of reopening plays, I think international air travel may be among the last to 2019 levels of business. Factor in the potential permanent destruction in business travel demand amid the continued rise of the work-from-home (WFH) and work-from-anywhere (WFA) trend, and it becomes more apparent that Air Canada could take at least three more years to see its $51 highs again.
That's disheartening for investors looking to make a quick buck off the continued reopening of the Canadian economy. But is doubling up in three or four years really that bad?
That'd suggest a return of 25-33% annually. That's not bad — assuming you can handle the turbulence and take advantage of the inevitable dips due to COVID-19 waves, quarterly flops, or the need for further government support.
The turbulent ride ahead for Air Canada stock
Air Canada is off 18% from its 52-week high hit back in mid-March. Delta jitters and a slowdown in the vaccination rate are likely contributing factors behind the decline in Canada's top airline. While I have no idea just how low the stock will flop this time around, I do think that dollar-cost-averaging on the way down is the only way to go for investors looking to profit from what could be a recovery that could drag on through 2025.
A bull-case scenario could bring forth timelier gains. But realistically, the high hurdles ahead of Air Canada en route to normalcy could bring forth many bear market pullbacks over near-term bad news relating to the pandemic or any slowdown in the Canadian economy.
What about valuation?
After imploding back in 2020, you'd think Air Canada stock would reek of value. Sell-side analysts covering the name seem to think so, with the latest buy rating coming courtesy of CIBC's Kevin Chiang, who sees the stock making a run for the $33 level, a nearly 35% gain from where shares ended Tuesday's session of trade.
With the U.S. border opening, Air Canada is due to see some relief. That said, new variants and differing vaccination rates could bring forth another border closure by the holidays. Some people may think the pandemic is over. But that's far from the truth. Uncertainties remain, and for that reason, Air Canada stock remains only suitable for those with high-risk tolerances.
Can things get worse from here? Possibly. New variants are emerging, and vaccines may lose their effectiveness over time. But let's not rule out enhanced testing practices and the possibility of vaccine passports, all of which bodes well for air travel demand heading into 2022.
My takeaway? Air Canada stock is a worthy speculative bet for long-term investors.

Animal rights group brings 'Farm to Fridge' tour to SLC

Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune Shoppers at The Gateway pass the animal rights group Mercy for Animals, which brought a specially modified truck with 80-inch movie screens to Rio Grande Street Saturday. The group showed the video "Farm to Fridge," which purports to expose cruelty to animals at U.S. factory farms.
By Paul Beebe The Salt Lake Tribune
· June 11, 2011 11:44 pm
Salt Lake City's Gateway shopping district was the final stop of an animal rights group's coast-to-coast road show to expose factory farm practices and sway consumers to a vegetarian diet.
The three-month tour through 42 cities was meant "to expose the hidden price of meat, dairy and egg production, which is egregious cruelty to animals," Phil Letten, a Mercy for Animals spokesman, said on Saturday.
Letten and partner Victor Sjodin had staked out the southeast corner of 100 South and Rio Grande Street, where they and a handful of Utah volunteers carried placards and handed out leaflets and copies of "Farm to Fridge," a 12-minute video about brutality they say animals regularly suffer on factory farms.
"Most people care about animals. They just have no idea that farmed animals are forced to endure such egregious cruelty throughout their lives," Letten said.
Letten and Sjodin arrived in Salt Lake City in a specially modified truck carrying three 80-inch video screens to show the "Farm to Fridge" video on Saturday night.
Shoppers showed little interest in the handouts — one passer-by refused Sjodin's leaflet, saying, "No, man. Bacon is [expletive] good."
Ranchers, too, think the Mercy for Animals' message is overblown.
"Most of our cattle live on open pastures and rangelands," said Brent Tanner, executive vice president of the Utah Cattlemen's Association.
"We encourage ranchers to follow beef quality-assurance guidelines that emphasize the humane treatment of cattle. We never condone the abuse of animals," Tanner said in an email.
Even so, Letten said the message is getting out. The video has been viewed almost 3 million times on the Internet. He and Sjodin think they've spoken directly to "hundreds, if not thousands" of people since their tour kicked off in Las Vegas on March 7.
While few safeguards exist for farmed animals, Letten said, the message of Mercy for Animals is not that lawmakers should pass laws to protect them from heartless husbandry practices. Instead, the nonprofit organization puts the onus of sticking up for animals on consumers.
"We definitely support any laws protecting animals from cruel and inhumane treatment,"Letten said.
"However, the most powerful action consumers can take to prevent cruelty to animals is to adopt a compassionate vegetarian diet," he said.
That message resonates with Peggy Edwards, a vegetarian who drove from Provo to The Gateway to carry a sign for Mercy for Animals. She says it's easy and inexpensive to eschew meat.
"There's a lot of meat alternatives out there, and you really don't feel like you're missing anything by it," Edwards said.
A vegetarian for three years, Edwards said the health benefits of a meat-free diet are straightforward.
"When I went to my last doctor's exam, I floored my nurse with my blood pressure and cholesterol levels," she said.

Alone With You: A Sci-fi Romance Adventure on PS4
Benjamin Rivers Director, Benjamin Rivers Inc.
6 Author Replies
I can't tell you how exciting it's been to be a PlayStation developer. I jumped on board with the PS4 and Vita launch of my horror game Home last fall, and now I'm excited to finally share with you some lovely news about my new title in development, Alone With You!
Alone With You will be available to play for the very first time ever on PS4 at the GDC Expo PlayStation booth. Barely a dozen people in the entire universe have even seen the game up until now, so imagine how exciting it is to know that next week, tens of thousands of conference-goers might give it a go! (Replace "exciting" with "terrifying" for a more accurate assessment.)
The GDC demo is a small, vertical slice; it takes you through the intro, one mission, and even lets you see how the dating works. But I know lots of you won't be able to make it to GDC, so allow me to share a few exclusive tidbits with you right here!
What's This Game About, Again?
To recap: you play as the sole remaining member of a doomed terraforming colony. Your planet will crumble and implode in less than a month, and you must use your remaining time to try to escape. There is only one escape pod left, and it isn't functioning. Even worse, the only people who specialized in its systems are all dead as a result of the colony's failure. But the colony's AI is still with you, and together you plan to get yourselves off the planet — by recreating those key colony members and learning how to fix the ship, so you can both flee to safety.
In Space, No One Can Hear You Hug
Similar to Home, Alone With You is a narrative-focused exploration game. It's not about dodging bullets or tripping instant-death cutscenes — it's about soaking yourself in the game's world and hopefully getting just way too emotionally invested along the way.
As you can see here, you go on missions that your AI companion — lovingly named AF4B/3B by the company that made it — sends you on. You'll need to find specific things, and use your scanner to gather data. As you explore the game's environments, you'll inevitably come across other, less critical items — some of which help immerse you in the world around you, and some of which play a role when it's time to do some romancin'.
The face buttons on DualShock 4, or on PS Vita, let you interact with AF4B/3B, even if you're doing other things. So by using the Square, Triangle or Circle button, you can make choices and keep dialogue moving.
Once you've completed each mission, AF4B/3B will ask you to come home, and while it crunches the day's data, you can take a breather.
But sometimes, at night, you might be asked to visit the colony's holo-sim chamber, where the digital versions of those old colonists are trying to orchestrate your salvation. Except on these occasions, a particular colonist might not want to talk about work…
Let's Talk About Love
Alone With You is a "romance adventure," but that doesn't mean it's just another dating sim. In fact, true to form, I've adopted a kind of focused minimalism with the game; it's not about maxing out dating stats or trying to form a love harem — rather, it's about the curious threads you discover when love happens at the most inopportune times. (Can love bloom on a doomed terraforming colony?)
You'll speak to the colonists as you gather the data you need for them to help you, but you'll also get a little one-on-one time, depending on the choices you make. In these scenes, the things you may have seen or not seen, or decisions you have made previously, will affect what you can talk about — and decisions you make while doing so can affect what happens later on, too!
There's one really important aspect of Alone With You's romantic gameplay, too, that I want to discuss: it's completely open to all players, regardless of gender or orientation. There are four potential love interests in the game, and you can choose to spend time with whomever you wish — and yes, you can enter your name, for that personal touch.
The Look and the Lifestyle
Okay, I'm going to level with you all: Alone With You is a giant love-letter to the Sega CD. Yes, you read that correctly; that old Genesis add-on from the mid-nineties. The game features a color palette chock full of those classic greens and purples, and a hearty 16-bit resolution (the UI runs at 1080p, though, and is beautiful and clean). It also features a few nifty graphical tricks that, I hope, make it stand out from other titles.
Even better, Alone With You has lots of whimsical, full-screen animation for everything from using doors to revving up your sweet hover shuttle. Everything (so far) is hand-drawn by yours truly. I'm using my years of comic-making experience to (I hope) deliver some tasty, unique visuals.
The Future Sounds Funky
If you played Home, you might have noticed its sparse, eerie soundtrack — one that had pretty much no music, and lots of creepy ambience. Well, with Alone With You, I am stoked beyond belief to be making a game that features an actual soundtrack you'll want to listen to, even when you're not playing!
Longtime collaborator Ivor Stines (who created that creepy title theme for Home) is on full-time as Alone With You's sound designer and musician. Every beat and beep is his creation, and in grand Sega CD fashion, you'll get a sophisticated soundscape that belies the game's classic visuals.
Which is why we both want you to hear a track from the game right now. Lots of games have ambient, melodic tones these days — but what about some funk? Desperately gathering materials to fend off your impending doom has never sounded so… booty-shakin'.
So that's today's update! If you're attending GDC, please check out the game at the PlayStation booth. There's still a lot of development to go on the game, so if you continue to have questions, post a reply and I'll answer you!
